Stadt Wien - Sucht- und Drogenkoordination Wien gemeinnützige GmbH

The Addiction and Drug Coordination Vienna (SDW) is a non-profit limited liability company owned by the Curatorium for Psychosocial Services in Vienna (PSD-Vienna). Since its establishment in 2006, it has implemented the strategic and operational objectives of Vienna's addiction and drug policy, coordinated the Addiction and Drug Support Network (SDHN), and been responsible for the allocation of funding. Its tasks also include the development of a standardized documentation system, quality assurance, needs analysis and planning, as well as networking all inpatient and outpatient addiction and drug support facilities in close coordination with municipal departments, law enforcement, and federal agencies.

SDW is mandated to professionally coordinate and financially support measures for the prevention, treatment, care, and social reintegration of individuals affected by or at risk of addiction in Vienna. Its goal is to shorten individual suffering, enhance health opportunities, and ensure the social participation of those affected. Through coordinated labor market integration, public awareness strategies for a conflict-free public space, and evidence-based prevention programs, a life free from or with minimal addiction in the city of Vienna is to be ensured.

The SDW targets both individuals who are addicted or at risk of addiction, as well as organizations and institutions involved in addiction and drug support services in Vienna. Funding is provided for individual measures (subject funding) for affected persons, as well as for ongoing investments and operating costs of recognized inpatient and outpatient support facilities (object funding). Furthermore, the SDW supports projects and studies with scientific, social, or artistic added value in the field of addiction and drugs.
